One of the annual afflictions is the Grand Duke
Jupiter, who changes location every year. He is regarded by the Chinese
as the God of the Year and it is well known in Chinese families that he
must be respected. His Chinese name is Tai Tsui and it is absolutely
vital you find out where he is residing each year. Once you know where
he is located, make certain you do not incur his wrath by sitting in a
direction that faces his direction. This means you are confronting him
and you must never do that. You must never face him directly when you
sit or work or eat. If you do, misfortune befalls you – even if that
happens to be your best direction according to the Kua or Eight Mansions
formula. Nor should you disturb his place with excessive noise,
banging, digging, and renovations. If you do, the consequences are that
you could get sick, suffer losses, lose out on important deals and
opportunities, and generally feel rather sickly. So each year make an
effort to determine his location. Here’s a tip: the Grand Duke always
resides in the place that corresponds to the animal sign of that year,
and he occupies only fifteen degrees of the compass. 47.5 degrees.
THE GRAND DUKE JUPITER resides as follows:
2001 in the south-southeast (place of the snake)
2002 in the south (place of the horse)
2003 in the south-southwest (place of the sheep)
2004 in the west-southwest (place of the monkey)
2005 in the west (place of the rooster)
2006 in the west-northwest (place of the dog) and so on …
The Grand Duke’s location during each of the 12 animal years of the
lunar calendar follow the exact compass location of the earthly branch
of the animal sign of the snake, which means the 15 degrees defined as
south-southeast. Note that his location moves in a clockwise direction
around the compass and his direction is based on the earth plate (in Luo
Pan) where north is taken to mean magnetic north shown in a compass.
Usually, in any given year, the animal sign that is directly opposite
the Grand Duke’s location is said to be clashing with him In the year
of the horse, for instance, the animal sign of the rat clashes with the
Tai Tsui, so those born in the year of the rat should appease the Grand
Duke.
Traditionalists usually advise that one places the image or statue of
the Pi Yao (also known as the Pi Xiu or Pi Xie) inside the home in the
direction of the Tai Tsui. This is believed to be a very effective cure
to ensure that the Tai Tsui is not offended.
My advice is to place a Pi Yao statue in the home since this is an
auspicious celestial creature anyway – this way one never has to worry
about offending the Grand Duke. The Pi Yao creature is available in a
number of different postures.
